    Hello Redhed35 and JudyKayTee,

    Sorry for not responding to you sooner. Since I had bowed out of this thread I didn't realize you had a question for me until today.

    Sadly, yes. There are places in our world that have laws against dating: Saudi Arabia and Iran are two that come to mind.

    Judy - you refer to my "research". My answers are based on my experience and personal knowledge. I would not reply otherwise.

    Thank you both for your interest and for helping this young person out. Glad to know you're out there. Take care.

    Going out: any age. Sex: 16 (under Scottish law, see Ages of consent in Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

    But that's just the legal bit.

    Is an over-16 and an under-16 going out a good idea? That's a whole different story and depends on age difference, individual personalities, etc.

    You should read what you quote better. Age of consent refers to sexual activity not "going out" (dating). So you gave misleading info about the "legal bit".

    That's exactly what I meant. Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity. Here's the same info, presented a little more clearly (changed text in italics):

    Going out: Scottish law says nothing on the subject.
    Sex: 16 (under Scottish law, see Ages of consent in Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

    But that's just the legal bit.

    Is an over-16 and an under-16 going out a good idea? That's a whole different story and depends on age difference, individual personalities, etc.

    Hope that clears up any potential misunderstandings.
